General The Annual Blessing of Motor Cars in Rome

[Toshi 975]

Just flicking through a March 1958 copy of the Sphere, an illustrated newspaper/magazine, I came across this picture. I think I can pick out 4 or 5 Fiat 500s and a number of 600s.

I hope that Bishop Traglia wasn't over-generous with the holy water.....from experience I know that prayers are no help with rust.

I can only see 2 or three cars in that photo that might not be Fiats. I wonder if anyone ever studied teh sample groip to see if the blessing has a statistically significant positive effect?
